A comprehensive work, certainly out of date, but useful for the period it covers. The work is actually a series of essays divided into five sections: Catholicism and the Building of the Nation; … and the Nation's Social Development; Catholics in Science, Industry and Service; … in the Liberal Professions; and the Catholic Contribution to Education. Most of the studies are followed by bibliographies. The use of this work as a collected biography is greatly aided by a general index in volume five.
